Best 2005 Nissan Frontier Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options for your 2005 Nissan Frontier. Here we're gonna have the Tekonsha which is gonna go as a seven pole at the end of our vehicle and then here we're gonna have the Curt which is also gonna give us a seven pole and then here we have the Tekonsha which is gonna give us a four pole and then finally the Curt that's gonna give us a four pole flat. Now the main difference between all of our wiring kits, it's gonna be the end connector. Now both of our kits here, the Curt and the Tekonsha are both gonna give us a seven pole flat and not only give us our required lights but they're also gonna give us control of our brakes and a 12 volt power source coming out. Our Tekonsha and our Curt that are gonna give us our four pole flat will give us all the required lights, such as our taillights, brakes and turn signals but we're not gonna have any control over our brakes. These aren't the only kits available for your Frontier, but what's gonna set these apart from all the other ones is that they do come with the required relays so that the connector at the end of your vehicle will light up the lights on your trailer. If you're towing a small trailer, where you only need the lights and you don't need a brake controller activator or anything like that, I think the Curt and the Tekonsha four pole connectors will be a good option because if we're not using a brake controller this is still gonna have all the required functions to get our lights working. On the other hand if you are towing a heavy trailer or you do have a brake controller hooked up or if you need your reverse lights or anything like that I think the seven way is gonna be the way to go because you are gonna have those extra functions as well as more amperage coming out. The way our harness is gonna install, for each one of these is gonna be relatively the same. It's gonna be a two piece harness so on one end, which is gonna be towards the back of our vehicle, is gonna to connect to a connector and then we're gonna take our harness here and we're gonna go to the inside of our cab and on the passenger side there's gonna be a kick panel that we need to remove and we're gonna plug it in and plug our relays in. Now the design between our Tekonsha and our Curt are gonna be very similar and they're gonna install exactly the same. Now really the only major difference that we're gonna notice is gonna be the dust cover on our four pole flat on the end. On the Curt, it is removable and replaceable whereas the Tekonsha it is built in. Another nice but small feature that the Tekonsha has with our four pole is they do provide us with some of this foam double sided tape so that when we install our relays we can actually wrap the foam around it which will prevent any rattling or any noise behind our kick panel. If all you need is the lights on your trailer, I think our Tekonsha or the Curt is a good choice. To make sure that you can go down the road safely. Our Tekonsha and Curt seven way harnesses are gonna have a lot of the same features. more
